Main story complete
Original title: To Win the Favor of the Gods
After dying, Lin Han Shi transmigrates to a post-apocalyptic continent, where he becomes the lowest-ranking slave in the Doomsday Empire.
He's also a frail, powerless O.
To change his fate, he seduces a lonely young woman with an A trait and gives her an O's virginity.
As long as he is marked by an A a second time, he can undergo another differentiation. This kind of genetic degradation is punishable by death in the Empire.
Lin Han Shi is a cunning and unpredictable human from the modern world.
His redifferentiation makes him appear to be an A, and he impersonates the son of an Imperial General to escape the slums.
To avoid having his identity exposed, he exiles the slaves who know him.
He keeps only the young woman.
An O marked a second time by the same A cannot leave their master.
By convention, a second marking is followed by reproductive activity. In other words, the young woman will eventually carry their child.
On the verge of success, Lin Han Shi has no intention of abandoning this bond.
To conceal the truth, he finds the young woman an obedient male O to serve as the child's nominal father in the future.
But one day, that O runs away with the young woman.
After leaving his master, Lin Han Shi does not seem to suffer as the rumors suggest.
He has grown strong enough to suppress his heat cycle on his own, and can hold his own among a group of As.
He even becomes famous after a battle against an invasion of monsters, distinguishing himself among the Empire's A-rank mentalists.
Everyone believes he is a true A, invincible and unstoppable.
Only Lin Han Shi knows that through every long, lonely night, he endures the doubled pain of a man carrying a child, and the endless grief of a bond forcibly severed.
The mutation caused by his redifferentiation has given him a reproductive tract, and he is carrying the young woman's child.
Even at a crucial moment in his rise to power, he risked everything to keep the baby.
They meet again at an Imperial banquet.
Lin Han Shi sees the beautiful and dignified Imperial Goddess, Wu Yingwan, whose status is beyond compare.
She is also the docile, kindhearted young woman from his dreams each night, full of compassion and understanding.
And the fiance standing beside her
is the male O who took her away from him.
"I can't break off my engagement. He's done so much for me."
"Can he carry your child?"
Lin Han Shi later learns that after Yingwan returned to the blood clan, her memories from the time she spent away from them were erased.
Her wedding to her fiance is in three months.
Watching Yingwan and her fiance speak intimately, their faces close together, Lin Han Shi strokes his not-yet-showing belly, his gaze turning ominous.
He wants to win the favor of the gods again.
But he doesn't yet know
that the moment Wu Yingwan saw him, her memories returned...
▲▲Content warnings:
1. Male pregnancy, but the female lead has no equipment; her anatomy is normal. So this is not GB.
But the author likes female leads to take charge in the romance, and doesn't want her to have to struggle with giving birth while building a career, so the male lead gets pregnant. It's a C-section, and it doesn't affect his good looks.
2. This is a nontraditional ABO setting. As in the normal world, male and female are the primary sexes. The ABO setup, pheromones, and so on are only there to advance the romance.

Wu Yingwan moved into the Lin household as the prospective bride.
Her fiance, whom she had never met, was recently in a serious car accident that left him paralyzed in both legs.
The once-gentle and refined young master of the Lin family became cold, gloomy, and moody. No one dared approach him.
He warned her:
Don't even think about marrying him.
Don't touch his wheelchair or his paralyzed legs. Not even once.
Stay at least 50 centimeters away from him.
With red eyes, Wu Yingwan crouches on the floor and stretches her arm as far as she can, only just managing to drape a blanket over his paralyzed legs while staying within the 50-centimeter limit.
Like a frightened rabbit, she tries to please her new master, obedient but clumsy. "I knitted this myself... It's cold, so make sure you stay warm."
Lin Chengchu stares at the crown of her head without blinking.
His fingers grip the wheelchair so tightly that his fingertips turn white.
*
"Who said I wanted to touch his paralyzed legs?"
With a scornful laugh, Wu Yingwan taps her thin high heel against Lin Han Shi's knee and deliberately presses down twice.
He's sitting cross-legged on the carpet, drawing her.
Wu Yingwan simply snatches away his drawing, takes off her shoes, and steps onto his thigh. Smiling, she guides him: "Good boy. Now, what are you going to do?"
This is Lin Chengchu's twin younger brother, the second young master of the Lin family.
After a serious illness in childhood, he became taciturn and withdrawn. The old master never favored him, and he has lived alone elsewhere while recuperating.
Unlike his brother, the younger brother isn't aloof and arrogant, forbidding even the slightest touch.
He suffers from skin hunger and loves snuggling close to Wu Yingwan, burying his face in the hollow of her shoulder to breathe in her scent. He can hardly bear to be apart from her.
Whenever they meet, he's like a puppy waiting for a bone, wagging his tail wildly at her.
Wu Yingwan never overthinks things.
Is having a fiance and a boyfriend at the same time really so strange?
Her happy days continue until one day, by chance, she sees the older brother at a care facility.
He's been in a vegetative state for months.
If that really is the older brother, then who is the one at home...?
*
The aloof, disabled older brother and the gloomy, clingy puppy-like younger brother are both Lin Han Shi, the second young master of the Lin family.
The real older brother is in a vegetative state, with no way of knowing when he'll wake up.
With wolves circling around him, Lin Han Shi can only pretend to be his disabled brother for the time being if he wants to protect the Lin family.
To stop Wu Yingwan from marrying "his brother," he tries everything to ignore and neglect her.
But to his surprise, she still decides to get engaged to "his brother."
After news of the engagement breaks, she doesn't visit him even once, and she won't answer his calls either.
Has she decided to cut ties with the real him once and for all?
Does she not want him anymore?
Would she be with him if he became the real Lin Chengchu?
Dangerous, frenzied, yet oddly logical thoughts keep surging through Lin Han Shi's mind.
His unfocused gaze slowly lowers to his own perfectly healthy legs...
Theme: No matter how the world changes, those destined for each other will always meet again.
I really like this article. The subject matter is also more attractive in traditional ABO. It's very sad and I don't want to be fooled. Please give the author a big boost. I hope to return as soon as possible. I have read it 3 times.
I forget when I started chasing this novel. I just remember that it was a bit regretful when the author said that it might not be updated. But luckily you persisted and finished it. With this kind of perseverance, you will succeed in whatever you do! I wish the author can continue to do what he likes in the three-dimensional world and be happy because of it! Thank you for persisting until now [Compare Heart][Compare Heart][Compare Heart]
Big hug, I will read whatever you write.
It's so off guard, I really can't write it down, I'm sorry.
Author, why are you so good at writing? I am obsessed with you.
I don't think this name is very attractive and sounds childish, but the story is interesting and changing the name might do wonders!
The male lead is such a bitch and I was deceived to the point that Wanwan can forgive him easily?
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I finally waited. It's not easy. Happy New Year.
You are a liar!!!
Dear author, your writing is really good. I particularly like your themes and settings 😭
